Hi guys!
It is time to ask again. My project car became too "hybrid" and now I have to build custom FW. I'd like to make steel FW. Please, would you advice what exactly steel I should use and all additional tips for DIY FW? My google research so far ended with few examples from 1040 SAE steel.
Another question making me scratching my head: is aluminium indeed so good for automotive FW? How about mechanical and thermal load/unload FW cycles? What about different CLE between Alu and steel friction pad? How long is the life of an Alu FW?
Thanks to all.
Regards!
